However, a few localities have failed to make noted progress in the combat, and the situation remains complicated in Ho Chi Minh City, said Chinh, who is also head of the committee.
Affirming that measures undertaken so far are appropriate and effective, he asked ministries, agencies and localities to continue following the set major orientations and measures in the time ahead.
The PM stressed that instruction should go in tandem with inspection and supervision, and reiterated the principles that health care plays the central role; economy serves as the foundation; data, science and technology are the key; political and social stability is essential; and vaccines, treatment drugs and public awareness are the prerequisites.
Chinh ordered accelerating the mass vaccination safely and efficiently, and pushing ahead with the transfer of production technology for COVID-19 vaccines, treatment drugs and other medical supplies.
